The following reply was made to PR bin/20501; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Matthew Jacob <mjacob@feral.com> To: ip@mcc.ac.uk Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bin/20501: autoloader support in dump(8) Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 09:21:53 -0700 (PDT) 'sa(4)' man page I see your point, but if you're going to use dump, this method only works for stackers. It'd be better if you swiped amanda's perl script which also can then work with real changers using chio, no?
